5 x Strawberry "Sweet Ann" everbearer
Strawberry "Sweet Ann" Everbearer -
An everbearing variety will produce fruits throughout the season until early autumn. Starting from mid spring to late August, a plant could reasonably produce 1 kilo of strawberries per season. If you have your plants in a tunnel or greenhouse, be careful of very hot temperatures as it will affect yielding. Water well during hot summer months.
Planting:
Remove plants from the packaging as soon as possible. You can either plant it straight into your garden or in a pot (3-liter pot or larger). Use an enriched compost and make sure to leave the crown (base) of the plant out - Water well.
If you have a greenhouse, you can bring the pots inside from early Feb-March to boost the plants into producing flowers and get an early crop.
Pinching some flowers may be required to limit fruit production and provide sufficient nutrients for the plant to grow properly and ensure many years of production.
Winter protection:
A cold spell is required for forcing the plant to produce flowers in the spring - However, you may need to protect the plant from early frost by placing the pots/ boxes in a sheltered area (if applicable) or covering the plants with mulch or straw. This will be removed when weather conditions are warmer for the plants.
